But, maybe not so much while using only 512MB RAM.To be honest, I do not get it. Basic quality RAM is not as expensive as one might think - or my perspective is biased. I can see ultralight distros to be used in emergency scenarios, when running on some heavily limited resources, but otherwise, what prevents one from using at least one gigabyte of RAM? I guess in the 21st century I am not being particularly an elitist when asking at least for 1GB of RAM, right?
I can see it to be a sports type of challenge, where developers would compete in making the lowest memory consuming distro of all time, nonetheless, at the end of the day, I believe we all roll back to what makes the best practical sense.
